Polar Ferromagnet Induced by Fluorine Positioning in Isomeric Layered Copper Halide Perovskites.

ABSTRACT: We present the influence of positional isomerism on the crystal structure of fluorobenzylammonium copper(II) chloride perovskites A₂CuCl₄ by incorporating ortho-, meta-, and para-fluorine substitution in the benzylamine structure. Two-dimensional (2D) polar ferromagnet (3-FbaH)₂CuCl₄ (3-FbaH⁺ = 3-fluorobenzylammonium) is successfully obtained, which crystallizes in a polar orthorhombic space group Pca2₁ at room temperature. In contrast, both (2-FbaH)₂CuCl₄ (2-FbaH⁺ = 2-fluorobenzylammonium) and (4-FbaH)₂CuCl₄ (4-FbaH⁺ = 4-fluorobenzylammonium) crystallize in centrosymmetric space groups P2₁/c and Pnma
